No, roundabouts in tunnels are real - we even have one or two such
tunnels here in Norway.

I know from my experience with 3D accelerometers that there is a lot
of drifting. We would also need a filter to take away vibrations. But
I also know that some guys at my Uni. managed to keep a model
helicopter at the same position in the air by only using input from

Unfortunately you need accurate speed to be able to get usable data
from accelerometers for that. That's why some GPS modules have an
interface for tachometer.

I mean we could also use the open moko to chiptune the engine of our car

nobody needs to pay attension to the road but is that really nessesary

The cool factor?
Another idea would be to use the accelerometers as a method of text entry in
combination with dasher [1] - similar to this [2].
Could turn out to be a lot easier than using a small on-screen keyboard...
